There is no place for political violence in our country.
I’m grateful that Amy Acton is safe and thankful for the law enforcement officers who acted swiftly today.

There’s lots of empty land in and near Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, and for that matter at the very spacious estates of the tech oligarchs and the nice campuses of the tech companies. Those seem like easy places to put data centers.

We’re unlikely to see large-scale rollback to state voucher systems.
But big financial, academic, and safety reforms are on the horizon.
Anything short of that is market failure—a classic focus for public policy.
